Accountancy
Immediate Start
£50k - £55k Annual
Full-Time
- Remote
Location: Bristol (with flexibility for remote working)
Salary: £50,000 – £55,000 per annum
Company: Countex Finance Ltd
Countex Finance is a specialist outsourced finance and CFO service, partnering with ambitious science and technology-led businesses to make finance a catalyst for growth, not a burden. We provide a complete, scalable finance function — from core accounting, tax compliance, and financial controls through to forecasting, treasury management, investor relations, and strategic CFO support. Our collaborative and agile approach helps founders reduce stress, save time, and build the financial infrastructure needed to scale with confidence.
The Role
This is a client-facing Financial Controller role with a clear progression path into a fractional CFO position. You’ll initially take ownership of financial control and reporting for a portfolio of clients, while working closely with Countex’s senior team to develop the commercial, strategic, and leadership skills required to step into a fractional CFO role for new clients.
Alongside client delivery, you’ll play a key role in supporting, mentoring, and developing our bookkeepers, helping them grow into Financial Controller-level professionals and strengthening the overall quality and scalability of our service.
We’re looking for someone with ideally 2-3 years post-qualification experience in a Finance Manager or Financial Controller role, who is looking to broaden their experience and develop their career in a Financial Controller capacity. You’ll be supporting our senior team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, taking on a range of financial and strategic responsibilities across our client base.
Key Responsibilities
Act as the Financial Controller for a portfolio of client businesses
Build trusted relationships with founders and senior client stakeholders
Deliver high-quality management accounts, reporting, and financial insight
Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management for clients
Implement and maintain robust financial controls and scalable processes
Identify opportunities to add value through commercial and strategic input
Support senior team members on CFO-level engagements where appropriate
Coach and develop bookkeepers, reviewing work and raising technical standards
Contribute to the evolution of Countex’s outsourced finance and CFO offering
About You
Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
2-3 years post-qualification experience in a Finance Manager or Financial Controller role
Comfortable working directly with clients in a trusted, advisory capacity
Strong technical grounding with the ability to see the bigger commercial picture
Confident mentoring and developing junior team members
Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple clients effectively
Experience in professional services, outsourced finance, or fast-growth businesses is a strong advantage
What We Offer
Salary of £50,000 – £55,000
Exposure to a diverse portfolio of innovative, growing clients
Opportunity to develop leadership, advisory, and commercial skills
Flexible working arrangements (Bristol-based with remote flexibility)
A collaborative, supportive environment focused on growth and development
Long-term progression as Countex continues to scale
If you’re an ambitious finance professional looking to develop your experience in a Financial Controller role, with clear progression towards a strategic, client-facing CFO pathway, we’d love to hear from you. This is a hybrid role, based in Bristol, with flexibility for remote working, and offers a clear route into senior advisory work within a growing outsourced finance firm.
